How to Make Truffle Mushroom Risotto
In a saucepan, warm the vegetable broth over low heat.
In a large skillet, combine olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat. Add chopped onion and cook until translucent (about 3–4 minutes), then mix in minced garlic for another 30 seconds.
Stir in the sliced mushrooms, cooking until browned and tender (approximately 5–7 minutes). Season with salt and pepper.
Add the Arborio rice to the skillet, stirring to coat each grain with the oil and butter. Toast for 1–2 minutes.
Pour in the dry white wine and stir until it has mostly evaporated.
Begin adding the warm broth, one ladle at a time, stirring frequently until the liquid absorbs. Continue for about 18–20 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the remaining tablespoon of butter and the grated Parmesan cheese until creamy.
Drizzle in truffle oil, mixing well. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with chopped fresh parsley and extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
This risotto can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat gently to maintain creaminess.
